SPECIFEGATION formingpart of Letters Patent NO. 677,664, dated July 2,1901.

Application filed February 28, 1901. Serial No. 49,306. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN E. JAMES, a citi zen of the United States,residing at Worthington, in the county of Armstrong and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inHeating-Stoves; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to heating-stoves.

The object of theinvention is to provide a stove of this character whichshall be simple of construction, durable in use, and comparativelyinexpensive of production and by means of which a maximum amount of heatwill be generated from a minimum amount of fuel.

\Vith this and other objects in view the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts,which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointedout 2 in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of myimproved heating-stove. of the same.

view through the burner.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional Fig. 5is a horizontal transverse sectional view through the upper end of theheating-drum and its radiating hot-air-discharge pipes on line 5 5 of 35 Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional view through the shell of thestove on line 6 6 of Fig. 2.

In the drawings, 1 denotes the base of the stove, supported by legs 2and provided with an annular row of air-inlet apertures 3. 4 denotes theshell placed upon the base and surrounding said apertures and consistingof a band 5, a cap 6, and anannular partition 7. The cap ti is clampedto the band 5 and the band 5-to the base by long bolts 8 and sleevedbolts 19, and the annular partition is secured to the base by fourangle-shaped lugs, riveted to the base, and by horizontallyextendingbolts 10. This partition has formed in its walls, near its upper end, arow of apertures 11, which communicate with the interior of the shell.Either the cap 6 or the Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view.

annular partition 7'in the present instance the cap 6is provided with anupwardly-projecting annular flange 13 to receive the lower open end ofthe heating-drum 14, conical in form, the upper end of which is closedand the exterior surface of which is provided with a fireproof covering14, such as mineral Wool or asbestos. A burnerl5, which will behereinafter specifically described, surrounds the lower end of theheating-drum, the mixer or supply pipes 15 extending down through thebase and discharging the gas, thoroughly mixed with air, onto theasbestos covering of 63 the heating-drum around the entire su'rface,sothat when lighted the entire surface of the drum, or, broadly speaking,the covering, will radiate heat. This drum is held in position by a wideband 16, consisting of sections 16, each of which is provided with anaperture 17, through which projects the ends of the hot-air pipes 18.Hollow posts or standards 18 are connected to the cap by bolts 19, whichextend up through the base and are threaded into the lower ends of saidstandards. Secured to the top of the conical heating-drum are metalliccross-strips 20, the ends of which are perforated and adapted toregister with the screw-threaded apertures in the upper ends of thestandards. Screws 21 are used for fastening the ends of thesecross-strips to the upper ends of the hollow standards, while screws 22are used for fastening the sections of the band to the sides of thestandards. This produces a strong durable framework and is a veryimportant featureof the invcntion. 23 denotes a hood or cover which issecured in place by the screws 21.

I provide the heating-drum with a spreader or deflector 24, designed todeflect the air outwardly against the interior wall thereof to morethoroughly heat the same.

The burner hereinbefore referred to is of the duplex type and isprovided with two controlling-cocks, whereby gas may be supplied to oneside of the heating-drum or to both, if desired, or one side of theheating-drum may be supplied with a greater amount of gas than the otherside when it isdesired. This burner is clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4,and it is not believed that a detailed description of the same will berequired. I

When the gas is turned on and ignited,

the heating-drum will radiate the heat from the burning gas and willbecome intensely heated itself, so that the air passing up through theshell, its partition, and into said 5 drum will also become intenselyheated. It

will thus be seen that I obtain a double advantage by this arrangement.

The hot-air pipes shown may be suitably ornamented and provided withdampers or [O regulators, and they may extend to various parts of theroom or to other rooms at a distance from the stove.

If desired, a suitably-ornamented openwork fender or guard 25 may besecured I 5 around the heating-drum on the exterior of the hollowstandards.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, andadvantages of the invention will be readily understood without requiringamore extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, anddetails of construction maybe madewithin the. scope of the invention without departing from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof. For instance, thehood 23 may be trimmed close to the band and a fancy top fitted on, andthe-tubes 18 may be 0 provided with fancy perforated caps, carebeing'taken not to interfere with the flow of hot air through saidtubes.

The hot air from the drum may be allowed to distribute itself throughoutthe room in 5 which the stove stands or it may be conveyed through tubesto other rooms. In case the hot air is conveyed to other rooms acold-air tubeshould be laid from outside of the building and along underthe floor and the open 40 end brought up directly under the stove.

Dampers of course could be used in all of the tubes leading to and fromthe stove, and as theseinthemselves form no part of the presentinvention it is not thought necessary to.

show or specifically describe them.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

1. In a heating-stove, the combination of a base having aperturestherein, a shell mounted upon said base and surrounding said aperturesand provided with a central openingin its top, an annular partitionsecured within the shell and provided with openings in its upper end, aconical heating-drum having an asbestos covering and seated over theopening in the shell and open at its lower end to communicate therewith,said drum being closed at its upper end and provided adjacent theretowith lateral outlets, a hood over the drum, standards surrounding thedrum and extending between the base and hood, a burner-surrounding thebase of the drum and an open-work fender surrounding said stand- 6 5ards and drum, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a suitably-supported base, having aperturestherein, of a shell mounted upon said base and surrounding saidapertures and provided with a central opening in its top, an annularpartition secured within the shell and provided with openings in itsupper end, a conical heating- .drum seated over tliejopen end of theshell and partition and communicating therewith, said drum being closedat the top and having an outer asbestos covering, hot-air pipesextending radially from the upper end of said drum, and a burner forsupplying gasto the exterior of said drum, substantially as set vforth.

3. The combination with a suitably-supported base having perforations,of a shell mounted upon said base and inclosing said apertures andconsisting of an annular band and a cap, tubular posts, bolts extendingthrough the base, shell and cap and screwed into the lower ends of saidposts, aheatingdrum mounted upon said shell and havingan open endcommunicating with said shell, said drum being provided with an asbestoscovering, a band surrounding the upper end of said drum, hot-air pipesextending radially from the upper end of said drum and projectingthrough said band, cross-strips secured to the upper end of said drumand having their ends projecting over the ends of said standards, screwsfor fastening said cross-strips to said standards, screws for fasteningsaid band to said standards, and a burner located around the lower endon the exterior side of the heating-drum, substantially as set forth.

4:.
